Picnic

10 July 2006

We four girlies had arranged to have a picnic in Knole Park, in Sevenoaks. Perhaps with some deer racing afterwards. However, Mr Raincloud had other ideas, so instead we spread Lauren’s rug across Suzy’s sitting room floor and had our picnic there – with paper plates and plastic cups and cutlery.

We’d each brought a contribution to the feast: Suzy’s was bread, quiche and potatoes; mine was paté, a platter of cheeses and an avocado dip; Helen brought a variety of fruit, some cake bars and Coca Cola; Lauren brought salads, crisps and dips and fizzy wine in little bottles. 200cl being just enough to lower the inhibitions, but not quite enough to cause me to pass out on the floor. Incidentally, all that noise I was making from time to time? Nothing to do with the wine, I just do that sometimes. Suzy spent 12 days with me, she’ll tell you all about it.

Lauren and I also brought our cameras, so when Lauren finally pulls her finger out, she should have some picnic shots up on her brand new Flickr account. Meanwhile, you’ll just have to dribble over my photos. But before you do, give Lauren some trouble in the comments. She’ll love that.
